The House That God Built - 9781514438817

By looking at the nightly news and simply observing for themselves the denigration of homes and communities across our country, many would agree that family foundations are cracking and shifting out of place. This has resulted in untold devastation within the home and our other social systems; therefore, many households and lives have simply given way and collapsed under the weight of a host of societal pressures. Many believe that a generation of social experimentation along with our culture's fixation at redefining virtually every foundational institution (especially the first human institution--marriage) are responsible for placing the family and society on very shaky ground indeed, leaving a very dubious moral and economic legacy for successive generations. When cracks begin to appear upon the walls of a house, it may indicate a shifting or damaged foundation, which may indicate poor foundation work. As a result, builders typically reexamine the blueprints--the masterplans--to determine the manner and materials with which the house and foundations built in order to pinpoint and repair a weak or damaged foundation. It is the author's conviction that in many households within society, weak or faulty spiritual and moral foundations have been laid, resulting in the cultural cataclysm we witness throughout our land. In his book, The House that God Built: God's Master Plan for Marriage and His Blueprint for Blessing, Book One of his Strong Foundation for Strong Families series, the author discusses the need for a "RE-Vision," of marriage and the family--but not by "redefining," replacing or removing these honorable foundations and pillars which have supported societies from the beginning of time. Rather, by employing the word "RE-Vision," he calls for a refocus--a fresh new look at God's original design for the marriage and family. This plan is found in God's Holy Word, specially, the first two chapters of the Book of Genesis because this, he feels, is where marriage, family and social systems began. Therefore, the book is a thorough exposition of the first chapters of Genesis which explore the motivations and the methods through which God Himself built His house (the heavens and the earth). This study provides keen spiritual and practical insights as to how we can build our homes according to God's plans so as to receive His best blessings upon our homes and upon our communities.
